Learning_Disability_Coalition
The Learning Disability Coalition (LDC) is a group of fourteen organisations which campaigns to secure better funding for social care for people with learning disabilities in England.[1]
The Coalition was formed in May 2007.[2] It believes that better funding from the UK Government is required to help people with learning disabilities to secure a full range of rights and opportunities. The LDC aims to provide a unified voice for people with learning disabilities to government and other key decision makers; to raise awareness of financial pressures on services, and achieve an evidence-based assessment of the long-term resource requirements for people with learning disabilities.
The organization shut down independent operations to become a "special interest group" within the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group in 2012.[3]
